I love him! Apparently he and Rosie are doing some sort of show together–I can’t wait. They did a blog together at Rosie’s house which you can watch here and here (there’s two parts).

By far the worst Rosie and Elisabeth fight this season. The best part was when they went to split screen. Classic!

Page Six of the NY Post is reporting that Roseanne Barr along with Whoopi Goldberg and Kathie Lee Gifford, is in the running to replace Rosie O’Donnell once she leaves The View. I think she’d work, I’d like Whoopi on there as well. Kathie however, just needs to fall off of the face of the Earth and never find her way home.

Desperate Housewives led ABC to a ratings sweeps victory last night as Mrs. McClusky was arrested after her husband’s (or so we assume) body was found in her basement freezer. With 17 million viewers, the show garnered it’s best average since March, and led in the key ratings demographic. Meanwhile Polly Bergen is joining the show as Felicity Huffman’s mother.

Kelly Clarkson has announced her summer tour dates, and unfortunately there aren’t any in the city. I will once again have to travel to Long Island. At any rate, I’m afraid for her voice because her upper range seems to be shredded–judging from her recent American Idol performance and her Daytona performances. She needs vocal rest. Oh well.

One of my favorite comedians, Sarah Silverman, will be hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Sadly enough, in recent years these awards have been more entertaining than the VMAs. Has MTV forgotten they’re a music channel? It would seem so. Eh, who cares. VH1 for the win!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have returned, and I’m excited. I fell in love with Sarah back in her Buffy days, even more when she was in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I fell in love with Freddie in that movie Down To You with Julia Stiles. They’re such an adorable couple. Please come back to me.

The creators of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell and Darren Star, have gotten themselves into a bit of a predicament. Each of them has developed an adaptation of the show for two different networks, one called Lipstick Jungle, and the other called Cashmere Mafia, and both are looking to get picked up for this fall’s schedule. I think they’ll both end up being fucked.

TMZ has a video of Tobey Maguire slapping a fan’s camera away when he tries to nab a picture of Maguire as he’s entering his hotel. The absolute best part of the video is the guy laughing at the end. Some people think Tobey was rude, but honestly I would’ve done the same thing. The guy walks right next to him and puts the camera directly in Tobey’s face. Ever heard of personal space?

Take a look at some recent pictures of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal taking Maggie’s daughter Ramona out for a walk in the city. I think I’ve outgrown my attraction to Jake completely. First there was the whole beard thing, and now I hear he’s dating Reese Witherspoon which is just a big no-no. Though considering he used to date Kirsten Dunst, he may have a thing for women who can’t act.

Jessica Simpson is in talks to star in a film called The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. Please read that sentence again because it was not a joke. Apparently it’s about college kids on Spring Break getting involved with a religious cult, and I hear Hilary Duff may be getting into the movie as well. Jesus Christ, they just greenlight anything these days, don’t they?

I love it! This is why gay men are good for the entertainment industry. More bitches and cat fights.

So apparently Clay Aiken harbored a little hostility toward Kelly Ripa because she made fun of him a while ago on Regis and Kelly. And when he guest co-hosted the show with her while Regis was out, he was “cold” to her during the taping. The main moment Kelly got pissed about was the one posted below where he put his hand over her mouth during an interview.

Then when Regis got back, Kelly had this to say about the entire Clay Aiken incident:

The the plot thickened this morning when Kelly called into The View and Rosie O’Donnell weighed in the controversy, saying that Ripa was homophobic because she wouldn’t have reacted the same way if it were a straight man. Yeah…I think she had one too many Krispy Kremes this morning because I don’t know how him being gay has anything to do with it. You don’t put your nasty ass clammy hands over somebody’s mouth. Just no.

Kelly and Rosie got into a nasty little tiff about it though.

Here’s the clip:

So September 5 marks the day that the fourth season of the F/X hit Nip/Tuck premieres at 10 PM. It also marks the day the new season of The View starts up with its new co-host Rosie O’Donnell. What some of you might not know though, is that Rosie herself will be making a guest appearance on Nip/Tuck this season as well. Not on the same day she starts on The View, but still interesting nonetheless.

I still haven’t finished getting through season three of Nip/Tuck but what I’ve seen so far is as awesome as always. Can’t wait to get through the rest of it so I can be ready for season four. Even though I’m STILL bitter they’re releasing the season 3 DVD so close to the premiere. It’s basically FORCING you to buy the damned thing.

Anyway, I’m eagerly awaiting the beginning of both new seasons. Rosie, please kill the Hasselbitch.

I’ve got more promotional stills here. In the meantime, while we’re all waiting for season four, check out some of the awesome promos:

The one and only Rosie O’Donnell created a video to the tune of Pink’s Dear Mr. President, and posted it on her website.

God, I can’t wait until Rosie gets on “The View” and kills conservative idiot Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Dude, how did you even get ON “The View“? You didn’t even win “Survivor“. Pfft.

Star Jones Reynolds has been reportedly told that her services are no longer required. This should come as no real surprise as many speculated that she would be leaving once Rosie O’Donnell was signed to the show.

The New York Post’s Page Six has the details: ‘ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at “The View,” a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won’t say is that she’s being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show’s grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O’Donnell.

“It was always Rosie’s condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset,” our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.

Jones‘ camp yesterday denied the blustery babbler is going anywhere. “It’s 100 percent not true. Where are you hearing this?” a rep for Jones said. A “View” flack echoed that. But those denials come on the heels of reports that Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, Gayle King, may be in line to take over Jones‘ chair on the kitschy coffee klatch.

And while publicly, the show says Jones is “welcome” to remain on “The View” as long as she wants, insiders confirmed late last week that her agents are quietly shopping around for a new job for her.

There’s been bad blood on the set, particularly with co-host Joy Behar. Star was secretly dubbed “Bridezilla” two years ago after she took untold freebies from wedding suppliers in exchange for plugs on the show.

And she threw a hissy fit when ABC suits banned her from plugging Payless shoes, which paid for her endorsement. Recently, Jones enraged Walters and her crew by bragging about her dramatic weight loss while refusing to confirm that she’d undergone gastic bypass surgery to achieve it.’

Amazingly enough, just a few short weeks ago, Reynolds had hoped to succeed Meredith Vieira as the moderator of the show.

Rosie O’Donnell, whose talk show ended its six-year run in 2001, will return to daytime television this September as a co-host of “The View” on ABC, a person close to the discussions, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, said this afternoon.

In joining a cast that includes Barbara Walters, Star Jones Reynolds, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Ms. O’Donnell replaces Meredith Vieira, a co-host of “The View” since its inception in 1997 who is leaving to take Katie Couric’s place on the NBC News program “Today.”

After much media speculation in recent days, including on the entertainment television show “Extra” and in The New York Post, Ms. Walters was expected to confirm Ms. O’Donnell’s new job tonight on the live broadcast of the “Daytime Emmy Awards” on ABC. Abbie Schiller, a spokeswoman for ABC’s daytime entertainment division, did not immediately return a telephone message today seeking comment. But when asked about Ms. O’Donnell, the person who answered Ms. Schiller’s phone, who would not agree to be identified, said: “The official announcement is going to be made during the show tonight.”

Separately, someone close to the conversations between Ms. O’Donnell and ABC, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said Ms. O’Donnell had agreed to spend at least one year on “The View.”

Initially as host of her own talk show, and later as its producer as well, Ms. O’Donnell won a dozen Emmy awards. But her impending arrival alongside the wooden table that is a centerpiece of “The View” raises the immediate question of how she will fare as a member of a very vocal, opinionated ensemble.

An indication that there could be fireworks between her and at least one cast member — something “View” producers have not necessarily discouraged in the past — was foreshadowed in an interview she did on April 6 on “Good Morning America,” before her name began swirling as a possible replacement for Ms. Vieira.

In the interview, which was mainly to promote a documentary she had done for HBO about a cruise for gay parents and their children, Ms. O’Donnell was asked by Diane Sawyer to free associate in response to the names of several celebrities, including Tom Cruise. When given only “Star Jones” as a prompt, Ms. O’Donnell responded, “An interesting woman on many levels,” before looking directly at the camera, raising an eyebrow and laughing.

“I don’t wish her any ill will,” Ms. O’Donnell said, before adding: “I think it’s very hard for everyone to participate in the illusion she presents as her truth.”

“You mean about the weight loss?” Ms. Sawyer interjected, an apparent reference to the radical change of late in Ms. Jones-Reynolds’s appearance, as well as, perhaps, her recent hospitalization for complications of a plastic surgery procedure.

“Well,” Ms. O’Donnell responded, “whatever.”

Since her talk show went off the air, Ms. O’Donnell, 44, has mostly, though not entirely, retreated from the limelight to raise a family. Openly gay, she and her partner, Kelli Carpenter, have four children, the oldest of them 10 years old. In addition to being seen earlier this month on HBO, she has had guest roles on television in recent years on the shows “Will and Grace,” “Judging Amy” and “Queer as Folk,” as well as a lead role last year in a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie, “Riding the Bus With My Sister.”

Before an improbable run opposite Harvey Fierstein on Broadway as “Golde,” the mother in “Fiddler on the Roof,” she also appeared in “Grease” and, briefly, “Seussical: The Musical,” and served as host of the Tony Awards.

She started a Weblog, recently relocated to www.rosie.com, in which she often uses verse to discuss a range of topics, from her family to celebrities to her criticisms of the Bush presidency, which in and of itself could be seen as a preview of what she might have to say on “The View.”

Ms. O’Donnell has suffered several public, professional losses in recent years, which could, conceivably, also serve as “View” fodder. She was a producer of the Broadway flop “Taboo,” in which she had invested an estimated $10 million, nearly all of it lost. She was also sued, unsuccessfully, for $100 million, by the publishing company Gruner & Jahr USA for walking away from the magazine to which she lent her name and editing talents, Rosie.

In joining “The View,” Ms. O’Donnell will become the first new cast member since Ms. Hasselbeck, a former contestant on the wilderness game show “Survivor,” arrived in 2003.
